The baby eagle shouted "HELP me, please help me!" and started crying louder and louder  "How will we save the eagle? We don't have wings!" thought the three fantails.

Once upon a time, in the middle of the forest lived three little schnauzers! They had to move out of their doggy home because their mother said "Go build a great, strong home!," they dashed like fast cheetahs into the great, sandy plains, the first little schnauzer called Dashy made his house out of steak, beef and glass, its shape was half a sphere "Woofy, woof!," The second schnauzer called Woofy made its house with squeaky rubber.

Then another layer of the most hardest, strongest, most durable, waterproof wood! It had really strong arches to support the half of a sphere! A big, bad, wolf came. The wolf came to the first little schnauzer, "Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark!," The schnauzer ran to
